The graph below shows how "Hair Fall" is searched on Internet between 1st Jan 2006 to 1st Jan 2014.

If you want to be precise about this graph. Then the graph below shows how much "Hair Fall" is searched between 1st Jan 2012 to 1st Jan 2014.

It shows that hair fall increases from the month of July to October. After October the hair fall starts to decrease. So if you are facing this problem during these months then you are not alone. Its just an effect of climatic conditions. Especially if you are in India. Because mostly this term is searched from this region of the globe.

What is Hair Fall

Hair fall is a regular concept that occurs with our body. Normally 150 - 200 hair fall every day, but new hair grow at their place. Problem occurs when new hairs stop growing. There are various reasons behind lack of production of new hair. But major reason behind it is stress and improper diet.

Why does hair fall out

Sometimes chemicals in shampoo, hair colors, conditioners affect our hair health. Over usage of these things should be avoided. Some fungal infections and dandruff also affect the roots of hairs and make them fall. As already mentioned, stress is one of the primary reasons of hair fall. We should care about all of these things to stop hair fall.

THE FOUR TRUTHS OF THE ATKINS DIET

The Atkins diet allows unlimited fat, such as butter and meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. However, it excludes sugar: sugary products, but also carbohydrates like bread, pasta, rice and starchy. Vegetables and especially fruit are allowed only in very small quantities. The dramatic weight loss, both in importance by their speed, were recorded.

But as attractive as it may seem, the Atkins diet is not recommended, because in total contradiction to all official recommendations for a healthy diet.

1) Water Loss

If the early loss diet weight is spectacular, it corresponds largely to loss of water, not fat. Indeed, restricting carbohydrates (sugars), pushes the body to draw energy (glucose) in glycogen stores. Or glycogen being related to water, its use is associated with water loss.

2) Effect dangerous appetite suppressant

When glycogen stores are depleted, the body finally attacks the fat to produce energy. But again, in the absence of carbohydrate, fat breakdown is accompanied by a production of ketone bodies. In excess, they induce nausea and fatigue. At the same time, they help to inhibit appetite. Thus even if the followers of this diet are allowed to eat as certain foods they consume the final few calories.

3) Health manhandled

High in fat, particularly saturated fat, the Atkins diet may harm the cardiovascular health. Rich in protein, the kidneys are heavily used to treat and eliminate protein waste. Poor grain, vegetables and fruits, vitamins contributions, antioxidants and fiber may be insufficient, while these elements play a protective role against certain diseases (cancer, cardiovascular diseases ??).

4) No long-term effect

Recall that the goal of the scheme is to lose weight permanently and the essential condition for success is the observance. Certainly for six months, the Atkins diet can lose weight faster than a poor traditional diet limited fat and calories. But beyond that, this advantage disappears gradually, and many other regimes then become more efficient over the long term. Then, the adherence Atkins program is tedious and boring, mainly because of the lack of choice in licensed food. And thats why people eat less and often drop out.

Boring, difficult to maintain, no loss of long-term dramatic weight and health hazard, the Atkins diet is not recommended.

Frequently Asked A Year of CrockPotting Questions

Frequently Asked Questions sections always seem so impersonal to me, but after a year, I can honestly say that most days I answer the following questions. At least once.

Happy New Year!

Thank you for sticking with me throughout my year-long challenge! If youd like to see all of the recipes from 2008 in order, here they are.

If youd like the Table of Contents for the entire site (there are over 600 recipes), here you go.

This is the 1st "Frequently Asked Question" post Ive written. Ive also written Part 2 and a Troubleshooting post.

How do I print out recipes?
At the bottom of each recipe there is a small "print recipe" button. Click on that, then choose your desired font size. You can decide to omit all of the pictures.

What happened to all the food?
We ate it, and shared with friends and family. We now have a very nicely stocked freezer.

Whats up with the gluten free?
My youngest daughter has Celiac, and we have decided as a family to all eat gluten free while at home. If you are gluten free, please check all food labels yourself. Food manufacturers change ingredients often, and without warning. If you do not need to worry about gluten, ignore my notes and use the food brands you are comfortable with. You can read more about our gluten free story, here.

Do you travel with your slow cooker?
Yes. Bringing along a slow cooker when traveling ensures that your food is allergen-free and also saves a ton of money.

Did you save money this year?
No. We spent a lot on groceries this year because of the nature of the challenge. I cooked much more food than our family needed, and tried fancier ingredients/spices than I would have in a normal year. I figured this would happen and budgeted accordingly. Most people save a bunch of money by using the slow cooker, though. Heres an article on how to save money by using the slow cooker.

How much weight did you gain this year?
8 pounds. Thank you for asking.

Was your family annoyed at you?
No, not at all. My family is and always has been incredibly supportive of all my endeavors. This really turned into a family project. My kids, husband, parents, brother, grandparents, father-in-law, and friends have all given recipes or recipe ideas. Theyve also enjoyed eating the food!

How did you get on the Rachael Ray Show?
I emailed the show.

Why are the comments moderated? Did you get a nasty commenter?
Sort of. A reader got me on a bad day and I didnt like what he wrote (he said that my food looked like slimy green poop and that I should take a photography class). He was right---the photo was horrid, but it still hurt my feelings. Ive had the moderation on since, and Im happy with it because I need to actually read (more carefully than before) comments and respond to questions.

Do you have any resolutions for 2009?
Yes. Id like to stop biting my nails, complete Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred, get the side yard rocks moved to where they should go (or get Adam to do it), start and maintain a blog for Totally Together: Shortcuts to an Organized Life, begin a garden gnome collection, and not stress out so much.

Im worried about the not stressing so much.

How do you come up with your recipes?
I have the best readers in the world, and they send me new recipes every day. Ive got a ton bookmarked that I havent been able to test out yet. I also read a bunch of food blogs through BlogHer and watch Food TV. I also make stuff up. Sometimes it doesnt work.

I need to cook something for a group of people and it needs to be super-easy.
Taco Soup. Its always a hit.

Will you keep the site up?
Yes. It will live on in cyberspace, and Ill update about once a week indefinitely.

What kind of slow cooker do you use?
updated 11/12: I now use the Ninja Cooking System full-time. Here is a write-up about the Ninja, and here are the other slow cookers I recommend.

Are you going to still use your slow cooker(s) a lot?
Yes. I will continue to use my slow cookers probably daily (maybe almost daily), because thats the only way I really know how to cook! My kids are looking forward to me making some of their favorites again (especially brown sugar chicken, fish chowder, and 5-layer brownies), and I have a bunch of other recipes saved Im dying to test out.

I also woke up to this last week, and am desperate to crank it up:

The Crock-Pot Trio. Thank you, Santa!

Will there be a book?
Yes. Make it Fast, Cook It Slow: The Big Book of Everyday Slow Cooking will contain over 300 tried-and-true gluten free slow cooker recipes, and will be published by Hyperion. It will hit bookstores everywhere on October 13, 2009.

But thats not my question!
Email me. contact AT stephanieodea DOT com

Thank you. Thank you for helping me to make 2008 one of the best years of my life. I could not have persevered without the daily hand-holding from all of you. My eyes well with tears when I go through and read the heartfelt comments youve left----you are all truly amazing.

Thank you so much. Happy New Year. 2009 is going to rock. I promise.

WEIGHT LOSS TRAP OF SPRING DIET PLANS

Go for the wave of dieting!

Impossible to penetrate in a newsagent, walk past a kiosk without being assailed by magazine covers and titles on weight loss!

How can you resist this trap returning each spring?

Weight loss for the swimsuit ...

In press language, traditional spring section is called "a chestnut." There has recurring subjects that sell, weight loss is. It was also at this season out the books devoted to this activity, multiply commercials and television files that are piling up in the products of all kinds pharmacies to lose weight. In short, its February / March to June, the business of weight loss weighs heavier. This season would correspond to the desire of women to buy their next jersey bathroom in anticipation of the holidays.

Hence the promises, for twenty years, to lose a few extra pounds reaped weeks in winter, thanks to a unique system and of course without any danger or even without dieting.

Board: 5 to less than 15 or 20 pounds ...

And sometimes even more!

Why?

We are equipped from the beginning of time to resist hunger.

When private, our body will dim, spends less energy.

After dieting, it remange as before since we did not correct her eating habits. Sometimes even more to compensate for the frustrations.

What is happening then?

Not only taken up the lost weight, but over the years, the extra pounds that accumulate. For the body, remembering that he was deprived, continues to spend less calories.

Thus the "thinness" schemes lead to obesity.

It is their great danger. And here too often leads the desire to lose weight fast.

Slimming and calmly and surely find a normal weight

Its not really complicated!

Banish the word "diet" of your head.

This is eating regularly and copiously but not fat and never beyond his appetite.

Start with breakfast:

a minimum of 50g of wholemeal bread, lightly buttered (no more than 5 g);

a fruit or a fruit salad (rather than a juice that does not fill you up);

a dairy, yogurt or cottage cheese;

the beverage of your choice: coffee, tea, milk (skim 1/2).

Organize your lunch with:

meat or fish;

with vegetables LOTS (300 g or more) cooked with little fat (a tablespoon maximum 2 people).

If you want a rawness to start your meal, pay attention to oil dressing!

a dairy, yogurt or cottage cheese;

a fruit;

and bread: 50 g minimum.

For dinner:

always start with a good vegetable soup: its the right way to eat without adding fat.

If you do not have time to prepare, use its trade, brick ready to warm up, the choices abound and they are not fat.

some meat or fish or eggs;

possibly vegetables, all cooked with very little fat;

a dairy;

fruit;

and bread: 50 g minimum.

To lose weight, eat slowly

It is really essential.

One can lose weight just by eating slowly so allow time for the satiety mechanisms to get started.

This is not the case when one eats at full speed without paying attention to his feelings. Because we eat so beyond its energy needs without feeling full. So, it tightens or nibble something fatty / sugary later. And too eat without even realizing it.

Experience! Chew, analyze the sensations you experience during your meal.

You will see that as your hunger subsides, a pleasant feeling of satiety is gradually moved.

The result: you have less desire to eat; what is left on your plate you think less and less good then it was at the beginning, you do not feel frustrated.

Munchies? Nibbling?

These are often the cause of the weight gain.

Insufficient food and / or too low in complex carbohydrates and protein and / or too high in fat can create real cravings that drive to eat something, usually fat and sweet.

By rebalancing power according to the above model, they disappear.

Boredom, stress, anxiety also encourage snacking to care or calm. Then nothing can replace common sense, will also find another way to appease or allay her ?? boredom. It is then that any physical activity is useful, especially walking.

Want to eat and drink ...

Charcuterie? Cheese? Pizza? Cakes? Sweet dessert?

From time to time in small quantities.

And offset to the next meal or a dish cooked without fat, meat or roasted poultry, baked fish, for example.

Sugary drinks?

Are you really sure I want?

As do you eat without paying attention, out of habit? Ask yourself the question.

Thirsty? Water quenches much better than a soda that gives you a dose of sugar disastrous because it will give you hungry unbalance your body.

Drink a occasionally, outside, coffee or friends. But banish sugary drinks from your daily habits.

To lose weight, get moving!

Just as much as too fat diet, too sweet, too copious,

sedentary lifestyle is conducive to the kilos of installation.

You walk every day? I Do Not.

Then, schedule a time daily walk.

You do not have the time?

Split: 20 minutes or 3 times 4 times 15 minutes.

Park your car further away, get off at the bus stop before and finish off.

It is only a question of organization: if you want.

And it is essential to lose weight better.

Indicators of HIV Infection AIDS Symptoms

If you recently engaged in high-risk behavior, the best way to confirm HIV infection is to get an HIV test. Get tested for your own sake and for the sake of others: HIV is highly infectious in the early stages. The body hasnt produced antibodies to HIV yet so an antibody test may not pick it up. There are, however, some symptoms that can indicate you are HIV-positive. You may experience flu-like symptoms known as acute retroviral syndrome (ARS). A mild fever, about 102 degrees F, is one of the first signs of ARS. The fever is usually accompanied by other mild symptoms such as fatigue, swollen lymph glands, sore throat and headache.

Indicators of HIV Infection

Fatigue is another symptom of HIV. It is caused by the inflammatory response generated by the immune system. Fatigue is both an early and later sign of HIV. My friend Terry started worrying about her health when she suddenly got out of breath before covering her daily three miles walk. She had tested HIV positive two decades earlier.
Achy muscles and joint pains are usually mistaken for flue or other viral infections, syphilis or hepatitis but are actually signs of HIV as are swollen lymph nodes. Lymph nodes constitute your bodys system of immunity and will get inflamed when HIV is present. Many of them are found around the armpit, groin, and neck area.
Skin rashes can occur early or late in the course of infection. These are typically boil-like with itchy pink areas on the arms. Rashes can also appear on the trunk of the body.
Short- term nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, according to Dr. Malvestutto, affects 30% to 60% of people in the early stages of HIV. They can also occur as a result of antiretroviral therapy or as opportunistic infections.
Weight loss is the result of a depleted immune system. It is an indicator of a more advanced illness. The patient loses a lot of weight even when they feed well. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, one is considered to have wasting syndrome if they lose 10% or more of their body weight and have suffered from diarrhea and fever for more than one month.
Prolonged dry Cough is an early sign but can also be experienced by very ill patients. These can presage serious opportunistic infections such as Pneumocystis, pneumonia (PCP) cytomegalovirus, a type of herpes virus; and yeast infections such as thrush. Night sweats and nails changes such as clubbing, splitting or discoloration (black or brown horizontal or vertical lines). This is often due to fungal infections. Yeast infections such as mouth thrush caused by Candida also occur in the later stages of HIV.
Confusion or difficulty concentrating is a sign of HIV- related dementia and may be accompanied by memory and behavioral problems. Cold sores (oral herpes) or genital herpes can be a sign of both ARS and HIV infection. Other symptoms of HIV include numbness and tingling in the hands; weakness and menstrual irregularities.

Taking Care of your Oral Health Proper Brushing

They say prevention is better than cure. It is true, considering that it is less expensive to maintain your health and prevent yourself from catching diseases, compared to purchasing expensive medications just to cure your ailments. Your oral cavity, which includes your teeth, gums and tongue, is as important as the rest of your body. Taking good care of your oral cavity may prevent complications: from a simple yet annoying toothache, to unpleasant broken-down teeth. The keys to keeping your oral cavity healthy and preventing these abnormalities from happening are simply by performing proper brushing.

PROPER TOOTH BRUSHING

How long does it take to brush my teeth properly?

The ideal time for proper tooth brushing takes about two minutes. TIP: Singing two “Happy Birthday” songs in your head would determine the ideal duration of proper brushing.

What type of toothbrush should I use?

Choosing the right type of toothbrush for your teeth is a step closer to achieving proper brushing. A soft-bristled brush is definitely the best for removing food debris and plaque from your teeth. Brushes with small heads are also preferable, which has better navigating capabilities needed for those hard-to-reach teeth at the back.

How long before I change my toothbrush?

The advisable time to replace your toothbrush is after 3 months. When the toothbrush shows signs of wear, it must be replaced even if it hasn’t been 3 months yet.

Is there a particular brand of toothpaste I should use?

It doesn’t matter what brand of toothpaste you use as long as it contains fluoride. Check the labels of each brand and look for this ingredient.

How do I brush my teeth the right way?

It is advisable to perform short, gentle strokes while brushing as to avoid hitting and irritating the gums. Keep in mind also that you not only brush the teeth that are showing externally, but also those hard-to-reach back teeth called molars. Crowns, fillings, and other restorations are required to be brushed as well.Divide your oral cavity in to 4 quadrants(Upper Right, Upper Left, Lower Left, Lower Right) then follow these steps:

Clean the outer surfaces of your upper right teeth, navigate the toothbrush towards the upper left side in doing so. Keep in mind that the stroke for back teeth or molars should be in circular motion, while the front teeth or incisors should have an up-and-down motion. By doing the said strokes, you are minimizing the chance of having teeth abrasion caused by faulty brushing techniques.
Repeat step 1, this time from the outer surfaces of the lower left side towards the lower right.
Clean the inner surfaces of each quadrant of teeth in the same manner as Steps 1 & 2.
Clean the chewing surfaces to remove food particles stuck in pits and fissures of the teeth.
Brush your tongue to rid off debris and bacteria. This will surely result to a much fresher breath.

Each month, The health dietician, alerts you on a few products that have challenged. This month, its yogurt and milk cartons, frozen vegetables, crackers and pistachios, and antibacterial products.

Buy six yogurt glass jars

so as to recover the necessary containers and then make my yogurt myself! Its easy, you do not even need a yogurt maker when following the advice and recipes provided by the health dietician in "Yogurt" to Solar Editions. And it costs less than yogurt trade.

I do not buy those pink milk cartons

intended to suppress appetite (and therefore to lose weight) despite the pub makes me laugh out loud. His "100% natural active ingredient" added to milk is made from palm oil (harmful to the arteries) and oats, cocoa powder, milk protein, green tea extract, stabilizers (E 407, E 460, E 466), sweetener, and an antioxidant. I really do not see how this "active principle" is natural !! And why swallow this mixture to 4 € per liter while an apple or a boiled egg have the same effect appetite suppressant?

Buy frozen vegetables

because in winter its still the best way to vary your diet and get out of the endless carrot and leek that are in season. Certainly zucchini, peppers, tomatoes etc. are in the markets, from Morocco or even further but they are much more expensive. And frozen foods, vitamins side, its great because they are from their harvest!

I do not buy appetizers crackers

because when I start a box (60 g), I can not stop to chew on. And when I look at the composition of the package: "Wheat flour, vegetable fat, grated cheese - dried 4%, sugar, baking powders: ammonium hydrogen carbonate, monocalcium orthophosphate - sodium bicarbonate, salt 1.5% sesame seeds and poppy 1.5%, glucose-fructose syrup, malted barley flour, dry yeast, lactose and milk protein, flavoring, soy, "I shudder with horror.

I buy Pistachio nuts

even if they provide more calories (615 to 100 g) crackers (515). But I eat less because it takes me time to dissect them and chew them. In addition they contain magnesium, full of antioxidants and it gives me a good conscience.

I do not buy antibacterial cleaners

since I read a very serious Canadian study demonstrating their danger. Indeed, they contain similar substances antibiotic hence enhancing strength thereof and the risk of development of stronger bacteria. This phenomenon of resistance and obsession with hygiene already facing enough problems, useless to add!

Frequently Asked A Year of Slow Cooking Questions Part II

Ive gotten a slew of related questions the past few months, and while I absolutely LOVE answering questions (I really do, dont read this with sarcasm. The idea of actually helping real, breathing people in any way I can is exhilarating---please dont ever feel like youre bugging me with any of your questions. I promise if youre asking, somebody else already has. :-) ) I figured it might be helpful to round up some of the recent most frequently asked.

Part I of Frequently Asked A Year of Slow Cooking Questions is located here.
and see: Slow Cooker Troubleshooting

1) How do you keep your slow cookers clean?

I use Adam. HA! No, really, Adam is pretty much the slow cooker washer guy. Hes an expert you know, one of his first jobs was washing dishes in the kitchen at the local hospital.

For the most part, Id suggest emptying the stoneware as soon as you can. If you have leftover food, scrape it into a tupperware or some other sort of storage container. This isnt mandatory, you can certainly store the food safely in the fridge in the stoneware, but it is NOT recommended to reheat in the stoneware in the crock for leftovers, so you might as well clean it out on day 1.

If you have baked on gook, the absolute best way to get it off without ruining your manicure (HA! on the manicure. Although you can get a pretty nice pedicure...) is to fill the stoneware insert with hot water and add a tablespoon of dishwasher powder.
Then float a fabric (dryer) softener sheet in the water and let it soak overnight. Then wash in the dishwasher, or by hand in the morning as usual. If you do not have the dryer sheets, a gollop of liquid fabric softener will do the trick, too.
DO NOT ever put a hot stoneware into your sink and fill it with cold water. It will crack. And then youll be super sad.

As for the slow cooker base with the heating element, do NOT fill it with water, ever. Make sure to read the pamphlet that comes with your particular slow cooker for the manufacturers suggested cleaning technique, but what I do is use a very slightly damp paper towel to wipe out any dribbles or a clorox wipe (I puffy heart love clorox wipes).

2) Whats the difference between a Crock-Pot and a Slow Cooker?
Nothing. Crock-Pot is a brand name of the first type of slow cooker, formally under the Rival label. There actually isnt such thing as a "crockpot"----although many people do call their slow cooker a "crockpot." There are many manufacturers of slow cookers on the market. These are the ones that I happen to use in my own home kitchen.

3) What size slow cooker should I buy?

It depends on what you are interested in cooking, and your family size. Slow cookers work the best when they are 2/3 to 3/4 of the way full. The recipe times are for this amount of food---if your pot isnt full enough, the food will cook faster and might burn. If its a bit too full, your food will take longer to cook than the suggested cooking times.

Before my year-long challenge, I had 2 slow cookers that I used for everything: a 5.5-quart Smart Pot and a 1.5 quart mini crock I got at a Black Friday sale at Walmart for $4.95 (score!) These pots served my family of 4 quite well until I started this challenge.

I then upgraded to a 6.5 quart eLume (I was given it from Crock-Pot), and that is now my new go-to. I also like the Hamilton Beach Set and Forget, especially the locking lid---its fantastic for potlucks and travel. These are the slow cookers and accessories (hand mixer, pyrex/corningware inserts I happen to use in my own home kitchen.

For a family of 2-3, buy a 2-4-quart
For a family of 3-5, a 5-6-quart
For a large family, or for entertaining groups of people, opt for a 7-8 quart slow cooker
I adore my Little Dipper, and use it quite often for dips, fondues, and even as an air freshener!

4) What if I only have a huge slow cooker? Can I still make recipes that call for a smaller size?
Yes. Its super easy. Simply insert an oven-safe dish (Pyrex, Corningware, etc.) into your large stoneware, and load the ingredients into the dish.
This will create a smaller cooking vessel inside of your slow cooker. Then cover and cook like normal. It will take a bit longer for the dish inside to get up to temperature, but your food will cook just fine.
If you are cooking a dish (chicken, for instance, which has the tendency to dry out) and the recipes calls for a 4 quart, but you only have a 6 quart (this is an example...) put the ingredients into your slow cooker, then put a layer of foil or parchment paper down near the food to help trap in the steam and moisture near the food. Then cover and cook like normal. This is also a big help if your slow cooker has one of those super helpful (now this is sarcasm..) "vent" holes in the lid or in the side of the stoneware insert.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL when removing the foil or parchment paper at the end of the cooking time. The steam will be quite hot and will shoot out. Keep small children far away.

5) Are all of your recipes gluten free? What about the ones in the book?
Yes. We happen to be a gluten free family, because my 4 year old has been diagnosed with Celiac, which is an intolerance to gluten (found in wheat, barley, and rye). The book is completely gluten-free, and all the recipes on this site have been made gluten-free. PLEASE! read all labels carefully on your own, because manufacturers are known to sometimes change ingredients with little-to-no warning.

If you are not gluten-free, simply ignore my notes and use the ingredients you normally would use when cooking for your family.

Want more info on going gluten free? I wrote about our journey a bit, here, and there are links at the bottom that will be helpful.

6) Do you peek while slow cooking?
Yes. I am not the best at following rules, and I often taste, stir, and poke at my food while its in the slow cooker. Ive heard from reliable sources that you can lose up to 20 minutes of valuable cooking time each time you peek, but I have not noticed that to be the case. Peeking and tasting makes me feel like Im doing something, and it makes me happy. I like being happy.

That said, if you are baking with your slow cooker, or are making a layered casserole such as lasagna or tamale pie, try not to peek until the very end of the cooking time, so moisture doesnt escape. And DO NOT peek on the yogurt recipe---keep the valuable heat inside.

7) How come you arent posting every day anymore?
Because my year-long challenge is over! Im currently slow-cooking baby number three, and am working on some other freelancing commitments, along with trying my hardest to give my children more of me than they got last year. I am still completely infatuated with my slow cookers and use them VERY regularly. Id be absolutely lost without them.

8) Have you seen Julie & Julia? Not yet! It looks like a group of my friends will go together next week. I cant wait.

I hope this helps, some! If you have other questions, let me have em in the comment section. xoxo steph

Role of insulin and carbohydrates in weight gain

Digestion of carbohydrates

What will happen when we eat a food containing carbohydrates, eg starch? Firstly, during chewing, a portion of the starch is hydrolyzed (digested, cut into small pieces) with amylase enzyme in saliva. Then the food reaches the stomach. It is gradually pushed into the intestine through the pylorus (closure of the stomach). In the small intestine, enzymes continue to attack carbohydrates to leave only single molecules, monosaccharides. The glucose is released and absorbed into the blood.

Glucose and insulin

Following the ingestion of carbohydrate food, such as after a meal or snack, the blood glucose (blood sugar) increases. At time T we can burn this glucose to a relatively intense effort to think (the brain consumes a lot of glucose), or to rebuild glycogen stores in the liver and muscles (storage form of glucose). High blood sugar is toxic to the body, that is why intervenes insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas. This hormone is hypoglycemic, that is to say, it lowers blood sugar for a return to homeostasis (physiological balance). Then, any excess of glucose is converted to fat necessarily, in adipocytes (fat cells) and liver [1].

Roles of insulin

Insulin is a hormone that promotes anabolism, both carbohydrates, but also proteins and lipids. This storage is a hormone. Insulin is the primary regulator of fat [2]. It is important to note that insulin metabolism leads to burning rather than to sugars that of fats.

Lipogenesis and lipolysis

Increasing insulin promotes lipogenesis, that is to say the formation of fatty tissue, thanks to the activation of lipoprotein lipase or LPL (enzyme enabling the formation of triglycerides from three fatty acids and glycerol). Conversely, the decrease in insulin promotes lipolysis and elimination of fat, thanks to the activation of homono-sensitive lipase or LHS (enzyme to "break" and triglycerides and free fatty acids so they can be burned). Lipogenesis and lipolysis are two processes always running hand in hand. The amount of insulin sets the trend.

High glycemic load and the role of insulin in weight gain: a vicious circle

Following an excessive intake of carbohydrates or foods with a high glycemic index, insulin acts to lower blood sugar. But what happens often is the appearance of a hypoglycemic reaction. Too low blood sugar and increases hunger and compulsions sweet. The new person eats and carbohydrates causes an increase in insulin and so on, each with a storage as fat. As seen above, as the high insulin metabolism is directed to the combustion of non-sugars and fat, a continuous vicious circle.

Why worry about insulin?

While insulin is not the only hormone involved in fat storage, but this is the main. In addition we can have a direct effect on its secretion by our food choices!

How secrete less insulin to lose weight?

Simply by reducing the total amount of ingested carbohydrates (see list of foods and their carb). This means avoid sugary products superfluous, who are also a source of "empty calories". But also reduce the consumption of carbohydrates, which is often excessive. Starchy foods should be eaten with the level of physical activity (a lot for a top athlete and very little for a sedentary).

Is also choosing foods based on their glycemic index (GI). IG is the potential of the feed hyperglycaemic. It replaces the old notion of carbohydrates and sugars, which is very often wrong. (See list of foods and their glycemic index database in English).

Fruits and vegetables should make the majority of carbohydrates in order to ensure that the diet is not too rich in carbohydrates and the glycemic index are not high.

conclusion

The first thing to do when we want to lose weight is to control blood glucose (to avoid peak) to reduce insulin secretion and thus promote the release of fat.

We know obesity is a multifactorial disease.

One of the possible causes is currently the subject of much research: the composition of our intestinal flora.

Intestinal flora which encourages obese to eat more?

A landmark study on the subject was published in 2010 in the journal Science (1). It focused on mice whose intestines had been genetically engineered and housed accordingly more bacteria than normal.

Result: mice unbalanced intestinal flora were heavier than the others, and ate 10% more if they had the chance. This effect was accompanied by the classic signs of the metabolic syndrome: hypertension, elevated blood lipids, glucose, resistance to insulin.

They were also more markers of inflammation, which is, for authors, perhaps the key phenomenon. When the cells of the organism must respond to inflammation, they are in fact less available to regulate the level of sugar in the blood. But this rate is important for the regulation of appetite!

How to rebalance our intestinal flora to fight against overweight and obesity?

The study is very preliminary and needs to be confirmed by other studies. Doctors are far from being able to draw practical lessons for the fight against obesity in humans.

However, it is not the only argument that makes us uneflore promote intestinal well balanced. The bacteria found in our gut are indeed important for our transit is harmonious. They are also part of our line of defense against infections ...

So bet on probiotics!

Thus, we call all the bacteria that we swallow and that will have a positive effect on our health.

You can find easily in capsule form, or in some foods - yogurt or other fermented milk products. This second solution is often the most effective, since Probiotics are living organisms that must remain until your gut to take effect.

Now sold as dietary supplements, probiotics are first dried and then stored for several months on the shelves ... It is easier to ensure their survival in a yogurt that is one of their natural habitats and to be eaten days.

Leg of Lamb with Rosemary and Lemon crockpot365.blogspot.com

I can not believe that March is over and its already April. or at least it will be in only a few short hours...
Easter is this Sunday, and so I decided we needed a new lamb recipe. I made this a few weeks ago when my grandfather and uncles were visiting. Its lovely.

The Ingredients.
serves 8

3 pounds whole leg of lamb
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons prepared dijon mustard
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (1 lemon, juiced)

The Directions.

Use a 4-quart slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine honey, dijon, the spices, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir with a spoon to form a paste. Smear this paste on all sides of the lamb roast. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4-5. You can check the doneness with a meat thermometer, if youd like, but I usually cook until its super tender and I can cut it with a fork. If your meat isnt as moist/tender as youd like, you can cut it in half or in chunks and return it to the pot to soak up more moisture. I dont like dry lamb.

The Verdict.

I really liked this! The flavor of the rub is fantastic, and the drippings make a wonderful gravy. Serve with mashed potatoes and a big side of your favorite vegetables. Baaa.

other lamb recipes:

original leg of lamb
leg of lamb with prunes
smoky spiced lamb chops
lamb, olive, and onion tagine
lamb chops (easy.)
